Moderation is a terrible path. Spammers create monetary increase because the friction is too low. There was a time when text messages and internet minutes had a cost - spam was much lower (perhaps same today per internet user) Blacklists were useless b3cause l33t speak was able to bypass their efficacy. There is no local community on the Internet. There are consumers and producers and exploiters and grifters and cheats and all the other nefarious types. How do you produce a good community? Higher barrier of entry (walls, clubs, oaths, admission) and friction (penalties, rate limit, banning, demerits, fines). Imagine a world where HN sells access to a /pk/username where the public key is exposed. Every message by a user is signed. Revokes can happen at the hosting level. Encryption can happen between users.
